Farewell to Nantucket

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

Well, the dinghy repair seems to have worked.  We gave the adhesive 48 hours to cure, and it looks like we’re OK.  Fingers crossed!

Today we:

• Pumped out the holding tank

• Topped off the cooler with ice

• Had a great visit from three young men who graduated from marine design school together – one was from Swan Creek Maryland, and he recognized our hailing port.

• Did a final load of wash

• Got the dinghy mounted on the stern

• Went to the beach at Siasconset (Sconset), a quaint little town on Nantucket’s Eastern tip.

Tonight, we’ll have dinner at Dune (also the name of one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies)

Nantucket is as far East as we’ll go this trip.  This has been a fascinating stop.  WE learned a lot about the island and its history.  It’s a special place.

Tomorrow, we start to head west back toward NYC.  Our first stop is Cuttyhunk, in the Elizabeth Islands just west of Cape Cod.  

So far, so good
